This fairy tale has all the characteristics such as intrigue, mystery and magic. This fairy tale is about 12 princesses who every night would sneak out to a secret location and dance all night and then sneak back into the castle where they lived with none the wiser. The only evidence was that they wore out their shoes daily. It was a mystery since it was thought they never left the castle. Finally the challenge was put forth for if anyone could solve the mystery they would be given a princess to marry. Eventually after several attempts and a little bit of magic their secret was discovered. Magic is not always involved but it is often an important element of a fairy tale.
